In appreciation Of the services Of the United

them justice before charity. The purposely
deprecated money paid them during the war
should be made equal in value to the gold
paid the bondholder. The soldier was prom
ised coin or Its equivalent and paid In depreci-
ated paper. The bondholder loaned the Govern
ment deprecated paper and contracted to take
it for his bonds, but was paid In gold.

The Must Factory.

Owing to more advantageous offers
from Sonoma county for furnishing
grapes for the manufacture of must,
the manufactury has been established
near Healdsburg, Sonoma county,
where grapes are offered in unlimited
quantities at $15 per ton. This is I'M
fortunate, as the grapes of South Cali
fornia are sweeter and better than any
grown in Sonoma county. But the
matter will work its own cure, and
Los Angeles will have a must factory
of its own in the near future, if the
business will pay. The yield of
grapes per acre in Los Angeles
county is very much larger than it is
in Sonoma county, and if the business
of must-making will pay there, it cer-
tainly ought to be very rewarding
here. By the process OF transmitting
grapes into must, eight pounds Of
grapes are changed into 2.35 pounds
of must, making reduction OF about
700 per cent in weight. This reduc-
tion will enable the grape-growers of
California to send their grapes round
the world, if necessary, in this concen-
trated form, so that all nations could
manufacture California grapes into
any product that they desire.

That Upper Eevee.

The people of East Los Angeles are
very much excited about the non-con-
struction of the levee ordered by the
City Council to be built on the east
side of the Los Angeles river from
Kuhrts street to the head of the offic-
ial bed OF the river, near the mouth OF
the Arroyo Seco. The delay in the
construction of this work has given to
the people an impression that it will
not be built at all, and they are very
nervous about the matter. In time of
flood the stream from the Arroyo
Seco runs fiercely into the river fore
ing that stream rudely against the
western bank. There the stone levee
resists the continued current and sends
it in an easterly direction impinging
against the east bank of the river and
carrying away large amount of land.
Several acres of valuable land have
been in this manner carried off within
the past two years. 1t is needed for
building purposes, and the proprietors
desire some positive and permanent
guarantee that their land will be pro-
tected, before they commence building
operations on the riverside.
The present is an opportune mo-
ment for the construction of this levee,
the stream is low, lumber is plenty
and skilled workmen are ON hand to
drive the piles and complete the work.
1t cannot be done too soon or too we'll
for the benefit of the people. The
property along the river bank is now
valueless, but with levee will he of
immense value. They desire to know
when this levee will be commenced.
Inquiry is also made by the east
side people if the present supports
between the piers are to be left under
the California Central railway bridge.
and if the bridge cannot be strength
ened SO as to do away with these extra
supports.

About DIR. Mclean.

The Oakland Tribune says of the
reverend gentleman called to replace
DIR. Wells at the First Congregational
church: "News comes from Los An
geles that the First Congregational
church of that city has extended a
call to the Rev. DIR. Mclean of this
city. DR.. Mclean is at present SPEND
ing his vacation in Siskiyou county.
beyond the reach of the telegraph. so
that it is not possible to ascertain his
intention with regard to the call. The
people of Oakland will rejoice if DR..
Mclean sees his way to an increase of
the scope of his usefulness, but will be
sorry should that entail his departure
from this cily, where the people have
come to regard him with affection and
respect for his great abilities. At the
head of great church in this city
his lines have fallen in pleasant
places; he has done his work we'll and
we hope he will see his way to con-
tinue that work.

ployed on the canal which is being
constructed in the most substantial
manner; the sides being made of ce-
mented stone walls, with cement
bottoms Of redwood fumes. 1t has
cost over 10000 per mile-6ve miles
have been staked and about three
miles built. 1t is the intention of the
company to take the water of the
Sespe River, in conjunction with the
Cienega waters of the Sespe Rancho
along the north side of the Santa
Clara Valley to the immediate vicinity
of Ventura City. 1t owns absolutely,
according to the ablest hydraulic en-
gineers in the State, 5000 inches of
water which will he carried in bitches
and pipes at cost of over 81 ,O0O, 900,
i'm such manner as to irrigate nearly
| 100, 900 acres of the finest fruit
and vine lands in the world.
Although the railroad has been of
immense benefit to Ventura County,
the completion of this G. eat work will
add vastly more to its wealth and pop
| ulation.
w. II. Perry, f. G. Howes, S. H.
Mott, w. ii. Goucher, Nj. Dodsworth,
l.. w. Dennis, DIR. c. +. Glacius, H.J.
Crow, J. S. McNab and Francis Bates,
comprise all the stockholders of this
great corporation, which is guarantee
sufficient that the work will be COM
pleted as soon as money and men can
do it.
In addition to the canal these gentle
men own and control some of the fin
est lands in the valley, which will be
placed on the market as fast as
reached by their canal system. The
first sale will be the lands of the Sespe
Land and Water Company, a subsi-
diary company, comprising the same
gentlemen in the Ventura Water and
Improvement Company, consisting OF
Fillmore City and over 5000 acres of
the finest fruit and vineland in the
valley.
1t was not intended to place any of
the Company's lands on the market
for some time; the demand has been
so great, however, that they were
forced to acquiesce. The era of spec
ulation is fast disappearing, and that
of investment, cultivation and man.
ufacturing will soon take its place.
Such enterprise in the Ventura Water
& improvement Company will 60 a
long ways to hasten this much desired
state of affairs. In following out their
conservative ideas, it is the intention
of this Company to set apart only sixty
acres for the town site of Fillmore ; the
remaining portions of the Sespe Rancho
will be sold on its merits from an
agricultural standpoint.
Possessing all the agricultural pos
sibilties without its climatic draw
backs this valley will soon sur
pass Riverside as a desirable home
for health and business. Recognizing
the fact that the boom in Southern
California was started as much on its
capacity to raise fruits and vines as
its climate, we take pleasure in ex-
tending our good wishes to the sue
cess of a corporation that purposes to
make this the basis of their future
operations.

A LIVELY BLAZE.
The San Gabriel Valley Railroad
Freight Shed consumed.


About four o'clock yesterday morn
ing fire broke out in the freight shed
of the San Gabriel Valley Railroad,
near the river, at the eros ling OF
Downey Avenue. The building was
story and half frame with an iron
roof, and lately has been used as a
general store house, in which was
considerable oil and inflammable ma
terial. In the upper part were Sleep
ing a number of men who had been
employed as carpenters for the rail-
road company. These were James
Silley, Wandell, Mcdonald and
Rogers. They were awakened by the
smoke, and barely escaped suffocation.
Lilley turned in the alarm which
called out the fire department, and by
the time the engines reached the
scene there was no hope of saving
anything contained in the building.
Alongside of the freight shed was
box car containing oil. This was also
set on fire and destroyed, adding
fierceness to the flames. Adjoining
the shed was the blacksmith shop,
which was also destroyed. The fire
department worked we'll, and had the
fire under control shortly after they
reached the place. The damages are
estimated at between three and four
thousand dollars; fully covered by in
surance.

A few months prior to the advent Of
the Southern Pacific Railroad in Santa

A Horse Killed.

J. S. Koeing, teamster, met with
a heavy loss yesterday morning. He
loaded his dray at the Southern Pacific
freight shed, and proceeded to drive
up town. In crossing the corner at
San Fernando and Alameda streets
the horses foot became entangled in
the track and the animal fell, breaking
his leg. The animal was very val
liable one but his injuries were SO
severe that he had to be killed.

THE MANITOBA ROAD.

EDITOR TELLER; Why would it
not be a good idea for the citizens OF
Lewiston to take some public and con
certed action towards opening official
communication with Mr.. Hill, president
Of the Manitoba road, with view to-
wards inviting the company to extend
their road over the Bitter Root range
and down the Clearwater to Lewiston,
when they start to build it west Of its
present terminus at Butte? a few of
the public spirited citizens here and on
Camas Prairie have already sent Mr..
Hill some account Of the resources OF
the country through which the road
would run and also some data about the
advantages Of the Clearwater route over
all others, but what is wanted to partic-
ularly impress the company is concerted
public action, either through board of
trade or committee duly appointed to
express officially the facts in the case
The great extent of good country
drained by the Clearwater; its valuable
forests of fine timber; its agricultural
and pastoral capacity the great mineral
region, which the road would develope
on the western slope Of the Bitter Root
range, and also tho new and promising
mining camps throughout the Salmon
river mountains, which would be tribu
tary to the road, the vast volume Of
wheat now being in the Clearwater and
Snake river countries, which is now
awaiting tr Importation the fact that
we are annually blockaded all through
the winter months and ore unable t
ship our produce for want of transporta
ton facilities, and also an expression o
the public good will towards tho Mani
.toba company. All these points EN-
bodied in an official communication
would have weight with the compan
in directing their attention to our couu
try and might be the means OF sccurin
those railroad facilities for which W
have so long prayed. Yours truly,

The recent decision of Judge Buc

The recent decision of Judge Buck,
at Murray, regarding the fees of the
sheriff of Shoshonc county, does not ap-
pear to be fully understood by the
public Many have the impression that
the judgement Of the court was against
the validity of the Salary bill, passed by
our late legislature. This, as We are
creditably informed, is not the case,
The decision of tts judge 10 the case
referred to, was simply an adjudication
upon a special matter then under con.
sideration, not involving the question OF
the general validity of the Salary bill
and its particular relation to the Salar,
bill--as cffecting the interests Of thu
sheriff Of that county--resulted from thu
nature of the action and the peculiarly
Of the pleadings therein. Hence Thu
decision can only be considered as estab
fishing precedent in an exactly simila
case submitted upon like papers. Ii
another case tried at same court, regard
ing the pay of the commissioners o
! Shoshone county, the judge sustaine'
the provisions of the Salary bill a
against the claims Of these officers
This decision was rendered in Lewiston
during the present term Of court, an
/. the judge stated, in connection therewitl
! that his ruling in the former case di
